Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a mutant protein called FGF18 that has a different receptor specificity from the natural protein. This mutant protein can be used in pharmaceutical compositions to regulate various physiological functions such as hair growth, bone formation, and neuronal cell death. The pharmaceutical compositions are effective and safe, as they do not have any undesirable physiological activities of the natural protein. The invention also provides a method for producing the mutant protein.

Problems solved by technology

However, no such factors have been discovered yet.

[0076]Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in great detail with reference to the following examples, to which the present invention is by no means limited.

(1) Construction of Plasmids

Construction of Plasmids Carrying cDNAs Encoding Mouse Mutant FGF18 Proteins

[0077]cDNA molecules encoding mouse mutant FGF18 proteins can be produced as follows.

[0078]As the material for the production, a piece of skin was removed from a 7-week-old male C3H / HeN mouse (Japan SLC, Hamamatsu, Japan), and RNA was extracted from the skin. One microgram of the mouse RNA was added with 120 ng of random hexanucleotide DNA (GIBCO BRL, Tokyo, Japan). By using 200 units of M-HLV reverse transcriptase (GIBCO BRL, Tokyo, Japan), a cDNA mixture was prepared.

[0079]From the cDNA mixture, cDNA encoding mouse full-length FGF18 was amplified by PCR. The sequences of the primers used in the PCR are as follows.

Abstract

Disclosed is a mutant protein having an altered fibroblast growth factor receptor specificity, which is produced by deleting one or more amino acid residues from the N-terminus of the amino acid sequence of naturally secreted fibroblast growth factor 18. The protein mutant can be used in a pharmaceutical composition for regulating hair regeneration or growth or a pharmaceutical composition for regulating bone or cartilage formation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to mutant growth factor proteins having altered receptor specificities, which are produced by deleting appropriate numbers of amino acid residues from the N-terminus of fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) protein. The present invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the mutant growth factor protein as an active ingredient.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Heretofore, it is known that the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligand family comprises 22 members in humans and mice, and that each of these members has an inherent reaction specificity for one or more of seven FGF receptor (FGFR) subclasses, namely FGFR1c, FGFR1b, FGFR2c, FGFR2b, FGFR3c, FGFR3b and FGFR4. It is generally believed that the diversity of the physiological functions of FGF ligands is often explainable in terms of the combinations of various ligands and various receptors. On the other hand, few cases are known in which the inherent receptor specifici...
